Sufism is a science that educates the Human Heart and leads us to the experience of Truth as a reality. It has appealed to Mankind since time immemorial. The resurgence of Spirituality in contemporary society has seen a renewed interest in Sufism over recent decades. In this short series of talks, Sheikh Aly N’Daw shares his revolutionary vision of Sufism in modern times. How can we look inwardly, to understand who we truly are and discover the faculties we have been endowed with as human beings? How can we draw on Sufi wisdoms to improve the human condition in today’s world? The author calls for a revival of the action of the Prophets (peace be upon them) in our modern world, as illustrated by the examples of Peacemakers like Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Muhammad Yunus, among others.
Sufism Today
This book offers the first sustained treatment of Sufism in the context of modern Muslim communities. It is also innovative, in that it broadens the purview of the study of Sufism to look at the subject right across international boundaries, from Canada to Brazil, and from Denmark to the UK and USA. Subjects discussed include: the politics of Sufism, the remaking of Turkish Sufism, tradition and cultural creativity among Syrian Sufi communities, the globalization of Sufi networks, and their transplantation in America, Iranian Sufism in London, and Naqshbandi Sufism in Sweden. In its thorough examination of how Sufi rituals, traditions and theologies have been adapted by late-modern religiosity, this volume will make indispensable reading for all scholars and students of modern Islam.

There is power in our everyday living. A kind word or empathy is not just a word or feeling, it is an opening of the channels in the heart. These channels are like electrical conduits that convey the energy of life/God. Religion is meant as a practice and a guide to open these channels. Sufism is a known practice dedicated to cultivating spiritual attributes. However, even Sufism when entertained as a cult is not the end road, rather it is as a doorway or methodology. The principle of Sufism is to give pure love and charity toward others, and it is a realization of oneness that there is no separation from the creator of the universe. Sufism for Today begins by explaining where the word or term Sufi may have originated. The book describes the generality of asceticism and the basic underlying principles of selflessness, giving, and love as the foundation of all inspiration that has led mankind. Finally, Sufism for Today conveys the power and superiority of innocent acts of kindness over ritualized behaviour, regardless of the religious title or form of sectarianism practiced.
